In the organizer's words:

Joachim Kühn is one of the few German world stars of jazz. Kühn sees himself in the tradition of jazz, as well as connected to European concert music, but in all of this directly committed to a sound language of the present.

On the occasion of his 80th birthday on May 10, 2024, he will meet Michael Wollny, himself a star of German jazz. Both are unmistakable individualists in every respect. And yet here are two pianists whose playing almost seems to merge. Both so unique, and yet in wordless consensus with each other. Two exceptional artists who know from the very first moment what they have in common, what they are willing and able to trust and expect of themselves and each other. They take and give each other time and space, offer each other freedom and are happy to accompany each other for a while.

"Two wings, one world. In this duo, Germany's most renowned jazz pianists bear witness to their friendship. [...] Michael Wollny and Joachim Kühn are an alchemical miracle. They share a spirit of improvisation that combines introspection and expression, anticipation and perspiration." Der Tagesspiegel, Gregor Dotzauer
